The night was filled with a scented breeze. The ancient portal of Aphellion, ringed with mighty stone dragons of Eyesand, started to glow and pulse with the colours of the night. Crude silhouettes stabbed the inky gloomness, as the moons rays slowly passed through the many alignments, seemingly to pause upon the smoking aperture.
The time of Aphellion was near and the resurrection of the sacred flame would once more alight this sacred, magical place.
Spires of twisted smoke, rose slowly from beneath, highlighted plumes of purple and greens somehow gave life to this ghostly snake. Without pause its shape grew, ethereal wings opened to a ghostly dragon of light. From its throne it surveyed the onlooking congregation, pausing for one moment to seek solace. A dragon made from the stars, a bringer of light, whose very soul had been carved from the stars.
Laments and chants soothed the beast and from its mouth came the whitest of flame bathing the surroundings in a warm glow.
The dragon stretched its wings, seemingly bade farewell to the onlookers and rose majestically into the sky to return to its brethren. A pure white flame, ringed by the Stone Dragons remained, the time of Aphellion had arrived once more.

Not all surprises are pleasant ones. Do not expect all freed spirits to be grateful. Not every sealed vessel contains the answer to your dreams. Some conceal your worst nightmare.
The legend of the genie in the bottle is as old as time, and usually tells of a beneficent spirit, released from its ancient bonds, bestowing magical wishes upon its beloved liberator. However, this is not always the case. Inside the great dust encrusted tome entitled Eastern Adventures we discover that it was the wizard Inspertatus who created the dazzling collection of bottles, flasks, jars and amphorae housed within the infamous Chamber of the Unexpected. Each vessel contains an imprisoned magical spirit, some benign, some decidedly malignant.
Whereas dragons are usually predisposed towards guarding or stealing treasure, so, many wizards tend to share a proclivity for setting tests. Magical talismans secreted within vast danger-ridden labyrinths. Fabulous jewels guarded by monstrous beasts. Fountains of eternal youth situated at the end of a gauntlet of homicidal obstacles. Whichever way you look at it wizards have a somewhat twisted frame of mind. Insperatus was no exception. He had created a place that depending on your luck or skill in deciphering deeply cryptic cabalistic inscriptions could be a chamber of delight or chamber of horrors.
Gobi, a roguish adventurer from the city of Azbal was said to have dared the wizard's test and chosen what he thought was a handsome looking flask. With hopes of riches beyond his dreams, he eased out the golden stopper, and behold, liberated from its cramped confinement issued forth Idolon; a genie carrying a large, menacing scimitar, grinning down from the back of a shimmering dragon of violet and bronze.
Was this a good choice? Did Gobi get his heart's desire? Or was the glint in the genie's eye the cool glare of evil? The verbuMMagus knows of course. He knows what happens in all of the stories in the great library, but as usual his teasing smile is our only clue.
